A quick outburst.
When I look into the mirror you're there,
The stranger I've come to know so well,
You stare back disapprovingly,
I know I'm never good enough,
Tomorrow I'll be better.

When I look at my plate you're there,
My enemy and last resort,
You take over and control me,
That unforgivable sin,
Filling the void I feel inside,
Tomorrow I'll be better.

When I look around you're there,
My best friend and enemy rolled into one,
You watch as I fix my broken body,
This time will be the last,
I hope and I pray,
Tomorrow I'll be better.
